I'm trying to make it easier to run clubs, associations & organizations with a platform called embolt.app[1].

We're offering online memberships, event management, and a member database packed with features. Membership management is a crowded space, but it's also a low-tech space with lots of sleeping giants not willing to iterate on their product.

It's been a really fun project so far and even more rewarding to see clubs using embolt for their daily operations.

I’m working on a collaborative ebook reading app. The idea is that you can create a reading group, invite people and then share comments and highlights and see each other’s reading progress. It’s something I’ve been wanting for a while, for example to read a book with a group of friends or with a work team, but there’s lots of other possibilities including author reading parties, proofing and education. Got the basic…

Ooooo.... Idea! One thing I've always wanted is an "asynchronous" book group. Basically, some way to tie the questions and conversation to a page or chapter, and then you can follow along at your own speed. Just passing the idea along since I'll never do anything with it.

I'm working on a small website for finding restaurants and breweries when you're traveling. It currently has 4 year of Great American Beer Fest winners and 3 years of James Beard nominees and winners.

It's very alpha at this point with no styling. I'm also working on getting addresses, websites, and instagram links gathered and added. Plus collapsing down the entries, so a place with multiple awards only shows up once, with all of its awards. Right now it's just 1 results per award.

I'm currently road-tripping through New England and it helped find the amazing bakery Norimoto.

I'm currently working on an open-source project called checkd, which is a Cloudflare service worker designed to handle device authentication and state management using Apple's DeviceCheck API. The project includes an example iOS app and a worker implementation to demonstrate how the service can be integrated into a mobile app environment.

This project has been an exciting way to explore better securing my iOS apps. I'm looking forward to refining it further and would love to hear any feedback or suggestions from the community!

I’m a tech nerd rare coin & currency dealer! I took my two hobbies and combined them into a real business and I’m having the time of my life. Just launched a proper retail site here: https://www.rarity7.com/ About 50% of my days are spend doing the coin dealer stuff - hunting for inventory, buying collections/doing appraisals, going to coin shows and buying and selling in person, etc. The other 50% I’m writing code a…

Very cool and super clean website! Talk about your infra please!
